Mahjong numbers have remained stable during the winter period.

During Kay’s absence, our happy group was capably led by Jane Rushworth.
​
I am certain the other mahjong players would agree with me that the benefits and joys of this fascinating game are immeasurable - great camaraderie among the players, noticeable mental stimulation and awareness and, as an added bonus, the gentle sounds of the ukuleles practicing in a nearby room.

Mahjong has continued to attract new members. Most players are achieving the right Mahjong not the false Mahjong. It's great to see players attempting the fancy hands too.

My thanks to everyone for setting up and packing up which is really appreciated.

My thanks also to U3A for the purchase of the new trolley which makes life a lot easier and definitely much tidier.

The photos in the slideshow are just some of our Mahjong winners.

​Our Mahjong players are coming along at pace. The present focus is on achieving Mahjong with three doubles. If this is not achieved it's a "False" 

Mahjong, which attracts a penalty when scoring the game. Even though not all players are available every week we still had six tables this morning. Congratulations to our players who are going so well.

Congratulations to our players who are continuing to learn new skills with Mahjong. I am very impressed with everyone's progress.  

As a Convenor I am very grateful to the members who have shared their equipment.

Thanks also to U3A for the extra sets. Hopefully the new boards will soon be ready.

My thanks also to Jane Rushworth for stepping in while I had a few days away.

​Mahjong has continued this year with several new players. The new players are progressing well.

My thanks to all the Mahjong players who have come along this year.

The year has been most enjoyable. I have been amazed at how quickly everyone has learnt the East wind round and also the progress with the fancy hands. Achieving a Mahjong that can be scored has been a new challenge.

For those who are continuing next year the development of the other winds will be interesting for those who want to follow that option.

I will be quite happy to teach new players whilst being on hand to answer any queries from the more advanced players.

Thank you too for all the help setting up and packing away and my replacement convenors. 

Seasons Greetings to everyone.

What a delight it is to facilitate the Mahjong group. Such a wonderful group of players. It is fantastic having such a dedicated group of talented people. It is great having both women and men in the group too. 

We are enjoying our extended play on the second Monday in the month. There is always a good chat while we pause for some lunch.

At the group's suggestion we are planning to have a Christmas celebration on one of our Mondays too. 

We are back to five tables again. I am always happy to welcome new and returning players.

Mahjong players are certainly full steam ahead. Playing the fancy hands for the other winds has been most successful. 

My thanks to Anne Goodley for taking the session while I had an appointment in Melbourne.

Our next day session is planned for the SECOND Monday in October.\

Finally my sincere thanks to such a wonderful group who unhesitatingly set up and pack up each week.

Mahjong has continued through Winter with a keen and talented group of players. Such is the level of enjoyment that a longer monthly session is planned for the first Monday of each month to continue playing, with a lunch break!

Many players are now advancing their skills into playing the fancy hands in the other winds.

I am very happy to teach new players too.
